    The Clash - London Calling
    Devo - Are We Not Men?
    Descendents - Milo Goes to College

    Primus - Frizzle Fry. This was the album that got me into rock music. I listened to a lot of rap then.
    Beatles - White Album. Happiness Is A Warm Gun. I had heard of the Beatles before but this is the first album by them that I listened to all the way through.
    Pearl Jam - VS. I liked Ten but this album blew me away.
    Body Count - You guys may give me guff for this one but it was my first uncensored album.
    Hum - You'd Prefer An Astronaut. The sonic landscapes on this album took me to a different place. The weed may have helped.

    KISS is the shit and anyone who disagrees doesn't enjoy a true fucking rock show. these guys put on one spectacular show, and have been really the only cool band that's gotten away with selling out, because in all honesty. it's fucking KISS man!

    Pearl Jam - Ten.

    Had such a huge impact I can't even tell you. When I listened to it first, I just walked around school in a daze... I didn't know what was going on, I was just listening to it on repeat. Must have listened to it around 100 times in one school week.

    Led Zeppelin.

    As a band, they probably got me into music more seriously.

    Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream.

    Again, an amazing album. Was in awe of it. Coincidentally, I bought tickets to a Pumpkins show BEFORE I had really listened to them. I started listening to this and was awe-struck. Then saw them live and properly caught the Live bug.

    Rage Against The Machine - RATM

    Brilliant. Just Brilliant.

    Queen - Platinum Collection

    The band that most likely, got me into music. I had listened to music before obviously, but not obsessively, I liked Oasis etc etc. But when I got this greatest hits after hearing Bohemian Rhapsody from a friend, I listened to it for weeks and weeks. It started there I suppose.

    All in all though, it was Pearl Jam that defined my teenage years, and they still do. I am finished school this year and am seeing them a week after my final exams. Poignant end to my childhood.
